Hailing from New Zealand, Debbie Lash grew up with a deep connection to nature and a love for the outdoors—qualities that have stayed with her through every chapter of her life. A mother, health coach, yoga teacher and psychedelic breath facilitator, Debbie has spent the better part of two decades guiding others toward healing, starting with herself. Her journey has been anything but linear. “One decision can change the rest of your life,” she says. It was during lockdown while living in LA, surrounded by protests and uncertainty, that Debbie and her family took a leap of faith and moved to Mallorca. “We gave ourselves one year,” she recalls. “This summer marks our fifth.” What began as an escape has since become a soulful return—to nature, to community, and to her own calling.
Big city living
Before Los Angeles and Mallorca, there was London, Debbie’s home for 23 years. It was where she built her adult life, met her husband, had her children and began to lay the foundations of her creative and wellness career. “London was everything for a time,” she reflects. “It’s where our family began.” Despite the fast pace and grey skies, she found richness in its cultural diversity, creative industries, and close-knit community. Her brother-in-law lived nearby and their children were born months apart. “There was a lot of heart in that chapter,” she says. “But eventually, I craved something more expansive, for my children, and for myself.”
A change of pace
Settling into island life after years in London and LA meant a complete shift in energy. “Coming here, it was like I pulled the handbrake,” Debbie says. “Everything slowed down. We naturally regrouped as a family in a more nourishing environment,” she shares. “LA felt competitive, like you had to do every camp, every club. Here, life feels more spacious.”
This shift in pace gave rise to a deeper way of working, too. Drawing on her background in yoga, health coaching, and personal healing, Debbie now blends multiple practices to offer a deeply integrative experience to her clients.
Breath as a portal
One of Debbie’s most transformative offerings is Psychedelic Breath®, a dynamic breathwork practice set to electronic dance music that guides participants through altered brainwave states. “The body holds all the answers,” she explains. “This breathwork creates space for old trauma to rise and be released, for visions to surface, for clarity to land.” A typical 90-minute session combines intention-setting, guided meditation, and nine cycles of conscious breathing. “By cycle five or six, people enter the realm of the subconscious,” she says. “It’s where the magic happens.”
She hosts monthly sessions at Earth Yoga and also includes this work in her one-day Self-Care Affair retreats held across Mallorca.
A life rewritten
Debbie’s approach to wellness is shaped by her own health journey. Years of digestive struggles and food sensitivities led her to study integrative nutrition, specialising in gut health. “I know how hard it can be. I’ve walked that path,” she says. “It means I can meet people with compassion and understanding.”
This same empathy flows into her coaching style. Rather than offering answers, she poses powerful questions. “When people are truly heard, they discover their own truth,” she explains. Her mantra has become a guiding light, both personally and professionally: “You’re just one decision away from change.” Whether it’s stepping onto a mat, choosing breath over overwhelm, or simply carving out ten quiet minutes, Debbie is proof that it all begins with one strong yes.
Debbie will be hosting a yoga and wellness retreat in Pondicherry, South India in March 2026. For more information, visit debbielash.com
